Photo-A-Day May 2012: First and Second Week

I had been missing for a while. Real life took over. Time was a scarcity as well as a fast efficient internet connection.

The secret had been out. Javi and I were in Manila. But we're now back in Bangkok. We traveled to the Philippines for the reason that my only brother was getting married. More on his happy wedding on a separate entry.

Day 1 - PeaceMy sister helped me with the day's prompt and showed me this notebook as we were going around Fully Booked.I "borrowed" the notebook and snapped a photo of it. I love that it's in my favorite colors - pink and neon green.

Day 2 - SkylineIf we were in Bangkok, this would have been easy as we have a spectacular view of the skyline from our balcony.But in our barrio in Bulacan, this is the best one I could find. Very tropical!

Day 3 - Something I wore todayThe summer heat is so on. I need to put up my hair all the time thus the photo of a scrunchy.

Day 4 - Fun!KFC is more fun in the Philippines because of the gravy!

Day 5 - BirdIt was so hard to take a photo of a real bird. I kept on shooing them away. So I settled for a coffee packaging from Starbucks from one of our late night coffee run and the bird of Twitter.

Day 6 - MeAll dolled up for my brother's wedding

Day 7 - Someone that inspires meNext to my husband, the other person who inspires me to become a better version of myself is my son. Photo taken while we were inside the Yellow Cab restaurant in Paseo de Sta. Rosa.

Day 8 - A smell I adoreOne of my favorite scent, L'eau Par Kenzo Pour Femme, with a background of the Makati skyline.

Day 9 - Something I do everydayI start my day with my morning devotional over a cup of coffee.

Day 10 - A favorite wordMy favorite word "Love" in my favorite McDonald's slogan, "Love ko 'to." Oh, and while at McDonald's I took home my favorite Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

Day 11 - KitchenI was still in Bulacan so this is a part of my mother's kitchen.

Day 12 - Some thing(s) that make me happyThree things that made me happy: (1) Purefoods Tender Juicy hotdog, (2) Advanced Mother's day lunch at Cibo, and (3) a sleeping Javi on the entire Manila - Bangkok flight.

Day 13 - MomOh, why do you have to be so far away? These are my mother's photos from her Facebook page.

Day 14 - GrassWe live in a concrete jungle. It was so hard to look for a photo of grass. I snapped this one while on a cab ride.
